Am I the only one who thinks Gritty is an acceptable/great mascot? The internet seems to be having a brain stroke over this. Gritty looks fun and zany, something kids will love. I think he's everything a mascot should be.

This is also a fair take.

There's something corrosive about the current environment on social media. Roll-outs like this seem to face an inevitable knee jerk tsunami of negative reactions.

I do think Gritty is pretty bad, though. The fook's going on with that bowler hat?

I don't get mascots. They've annoyed me since I was little. Go away you fluffy weird thing, I don't want to dance with you. I'm learning to become a belligerent drunk and other accepted social behavior.

Anything associated with those dastardly Flyers is terrible.

That's all.

Correct.

After a full day of Gritty on the  official twitter account for him, I am all the way the hell in on this. They're fully embracing exactly how insane he looks. I love it

I mean he's shooting his helpers with t-shirt cannons from like 10 ft away

Looks like my Twitter/consumer brain was playing checkers, while the Flyers’ creative team was playing chess.

That thing is hideous and weird, and that’s how the franchise is going to play it.

Full marks.

Please.

 

He looks like artist Matt Furie (yeah, the guy who created Pepe the frog- no, he doesn't condone what Pepe's become...)'s worst hellish fever dreams after a force feeding:

Having an actual artist’s viewpoints on here really is one the board’s best traits.

I love Gritty

But pretty sure the best thing about it is that its name rhymes with another word starting with an "s."

Which is what most Filly based teams are (at least in attitude, if not actual competitive level). ;)

Hudson Fasching is on waivers today. 

Not unexpected.  Sabres traded an AHLer from a spot where they have a glut of AHLers (young W's) for an AHLer that they didn't have a glut of (young D).

Zach Smith on waivers from Ottawa.

@tsn_wally
Matt Duchene on Zack Smith being placed on waivers “I’ll be honest, it’s a kick in the balls for us."

Any backstory on that?

And any interest in taking a flyer on him?  If Sobotka somehow ends up on LW rather than the 4C, could have a completely new set of LW's from last season.
